Often overlooked in favour of its popular neighbour The Wrekin, The Ercall is a fabulous hill, offering lovely ancient woodland and wildlife, interesting geology, rich industrial heritage and carpets of bluebells! Starting from Coalbrookdale, we climb out of the gorge towards Little Wenlock then make our way into Limekiln and Ercall woods. We wind through the woodland climbing The Ercall itself, offering some lovely views, before descending, completing a circuit of the hill. We return to New Works through Limekiln Woods and continue through Lawley, to cross to the Horsehay golf course. We drop back to Coalbrookdale through Lightmoor and Rough Park Way. A walk of contrasts, lovely open views and ancient woodland. Grade of Walk: Moderate/Strenuous Length:17 miles Pace: Brisk Terrain: Woodland paths, fields and lanes Steps and Stiles: Yes Dog Friendly: NO Walk Leader: Ann Southall Specific Walk Information: Essential Information for Walkers: All walks take place within the Ironbridge Gorge which will naturally include uphill and downhill sections.
